1. It’s not tobacco-free The Berkshire Apartments are not smoke-free or really anything-free. There is plenty of room for all sorts of “recreational activities” that RAs hate.
With the cost of tuition and school fees around $50,000, it’s no secret that AU is an expensive university. In 2011, Business Insider ranked AU the second costliest university in the country even after factoring in financial aid. For many students this is the source of at least some anxiety during their time here.
During my freshman year at AU, I contracted a virus that required me to seek medical help. I thought going to the Student Health Center was a reasonable idea. After waiting two days for the first available time slot, I then waited another hour and 24 minutes past my appointment time, watching other students who arrived after me get seen before me. I was also blindsided by the high price tag and the inability to use my insurance card at all, instead having to use EagleBucks.
Recyclemania, a nationwide competition between 600 schools to see who recycles the most, is now in full swing after a week and a half. In 2012, AU won Grand Championship with the highest recycling rate and this year AU aims to reclaim this title.
College is more competitive than our parents remember. Students compete to get into top tier schools while universities themselves compete to attract the best students and faculty.
By now, you’ve heard Kathy Griffin teased Anderson Cooper on CNN for receiving the AU “Wonk of the Year” award. Cooper stammered in response, struggling to define the word that he supposedly embodied. As publicity opportunities go, it wasn’t quite Ted Kennedy endorsing Barack Obama for president at Bender Arena.
When I left to visit Myanmar (formerly Burma) for two weeks with the Alternative Break program, I expected to learn about the Myanar people’s fight for a democratic transition through education reform. However, I didn’t expect that fight to leave such a lasting impression on me, and one that should reverberate through the AU student body and our generation as a whole.
A couple weeks ago, I could not help overhearing a conversation two girls were having about America and its place in the world while boarding the AU shuttle.
As difficult as it is to accept, my study abroad is over. I left Manipal four days ago at 5:30 a.m., sent off by my friends and loving resident director, who came bearing hot coffee. I don’t think even my own mother would walk a mile up a hill carrying a pot of coffee at 5 a.m. just to keep me sane on my journey south. As the car rounded the bend, leaving Manipal behind, tears started streaming down my face, the driver clearly uncomfortable with the crying white girl in his back seat.
AU students, particularly Kogod enrollees, should consider the ramifications of future European debt speculation. The rules may change, provided the global banking community fails its mission to thwart proposed International Monetary Fund rules regarding Euro debt, according to the New York Times.
“Get It Together” is a weekly advice column published every Friday in which columnists Jalen and Grace weigh in their separate answers to readers’ questions.
With the smoke- and tobacco-free policy well underway, there is a new movement on campus, largely comprised of the same anti-cigarette activists: to ban gluten.
By the glow of illuminated tombs, we watch a series of Catrinas pass by in aristocratic dress. They are captivating as they sway to mariachi music. The Catrinas scan the crowd with piercing eyes and skeleton faces, swaths of red embroidered fabric exaggerating each movement. They are icons of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). It’s exciting to experience this window into Mexican culture, but it makes me wonder about my own place in these traditions.
The rollout of Obamacare has been abysmal. This failure, in which only about 100,000 people have been able to sign up for health insurance, gives conservatives plenty of political capital to expend at the failure of a big government program.

To me, Manipal is pretty socially conservative. All the restaurants and bars follow a strict 11:30 p.m. curfew, which doesn’t affect us much since we’re not allowed out of the dormitories (called ‘hostels’ here) past midnight. But it’s not the curfews or dress codes that took the most getting used to, but the social rules that lead to a strict separation between men and women.
College is no longer a fast track to your dream career. It’s a speed bump. As students, we are wasting our time and money.
After the uproar and firestorm surrounding the controversial performance, AU has decided to embrace the raunchy spectacle and use it for academic purposes. Miley Cyrus now has a home in the College of Arts and Sciences, which recently released a statement announcing the addition of a new class inspired by Cyrus’s VMA Performance.

I will remember the slogan “Abortion on demand and without apology” for the rest of my life.
